Identification of novel targets of miR-622 in hepatocellular carcinoma reveals common regulation of cooperating genes and outlines the oncogenic role of zinc finger CCHC-type containing 11.
Article in Neoplasia (New York, N.Y.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The poor prognosis of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is driven by diverse features including dysregulated microRNAs inducing drug resistance and stemness. Lin-28 homolog A (LIN28A) and its partner zinc finger CCHC-type containing 11 (ZCCHC11) cooperate in binding, oligouridylation and subsequent degradation of tumorsuppressive let-7 precursor microRNAs. Functionally, activation of LIN28A was recently shown to promote stemness and chemoresistance in HCC. However, the expression and regulation of LIN28A in HCC had been unclear. Moreover, the expression, regulation and function of ZCCHC11 in liver cancer remained elusive. In contrast to "one-microRNA-one-target" interactions, we identified common binding sites for miR-622 in both LIN28A and ZCCHC11, suggesting miR-622 to function as a superior pathway regulator. Applying comprehensive microRNA database screening, human hepatocytes and HCC cell lines, patient-derived tissue samples as well as "The Cancer Genome Atlas" (TCGA) patient cohorts, we demonstrated that loss of tumorsuppressive miR-622 mediates derepression and overexpression of LIN28A in HCC. Moreover, the cooperator of LIN28A, ZCCHC11, was newly identified as a prognostic and therapeutic target of miR-622 in liver cancer. Together, identification of novel miR-622 target genes revealed common regulation of cooperating genes and outlines the previously unknown oncogenic role of ZCCHC11 in liver cancer.
